47.0% of Inmates in Prison on June 30
Had Been in Florida Prison Before

Prior commitment refers to any previous occasion that an inmate served time in the Florida prison system. This does not include supervision, such as probation. Nor does it include inmates who may have been in county jails in Florida, in other state systems or in the Federal prison system.

The number of inmates in prison who had been in Florida prisons previously has decreased slightly over six years from 48.5% in 2000 to 47.0% in 2005.

The percentage of inmates in prison with a prior commitment remained the same as last year (47.0%), which is a decrease from previous years.

Of the 44,962 (53.0%) inmates in prison on June 30, 2005, who had no prior Florida prison commitments, 54.5% were White, 41.1% were Black and 4.4% were other races.

Of all inmates, 20.5% had been in prison in Florida once before, 11.1% had been in twice before, and 15.5% had been in three or more times before.
